To paraphrase Country Joe McDonald:

Well come on all of you big strong MAGA men, Uncle Sam needs your help again,
He got himself in a terrible jam, way down yonder in Iran,
Put down your books and pick up a gun, we're gunna have a whole lotta fun.

And its 1,2,3 what are we fightin for?
Don't ask me i don't give a damn, the next stop is Iran,
And its 5,6,7 open up the pearly gates.

Well there ain't no time to wonder why...WHOPEE we're all gunna die.

We got LOADS of young men and some young women who would flip us off, scream obscenities at us AND call us cowards.

As a veteran, I thought why not carry a supply of enlistment forms with me. I'd pull out my handy dandy stack of enlistment forms, along with directions to the local military recruitment offices, and offer them to the loud mouth hypocrites. Funny how fast that shut them up.

In more ways than one. To keep his movement's momentum going.

Of course there are many great anti-war songs - Ohio by CSNY gives me chills always and so does Bloody Sunday by U2. Love Peace Frog by the Doors as well.
